Paul,
I agree with your thinking exactly. This is the same basic setup that Van's shows on their plans. I will always opt for a CB unless the circuit is a totally useless one, like the MP3 player!
I have been using a 60 AMP circuit breaker on my stock Mazda 70-AMP alternator. My regulator is modified to shutdown if the "ign" lead is shut off by the panel switch or the overvoltage protector on the EXP Buss from Control Vision. Knock on wood, but this has worked as advertised for 230 hours.

Hi, everyone....Paul Conner here....I purchased a 70 amp reset type circuit breaker for my alternator from Aircraft Spruce. Any thoughts about the suitability of using this for my alternator instead of a fuse? My thinking was that if it "blew the fuse" at some remote location, I wouldn't have to search all thru my aircraft for that spare fuse. Just fix the problem and reset the circuit breaker. Comments or suggestions? Thanks. Paul Conner
